In their natural environment sugar gliders live together in small family units making their homes in shallow hollows of trees. Sugar gliders are accustomed to traveling vast areas while foraging, which provides these high-energy animals with much exercise.
Sugar gliders must have ample room in their cage for unrestricted movement and frequent time out of their cage for playing and gliding. The minimum acceptable cage size is at least 24 inches wide by 24 inches deep by 36 inches high for a single sugar glider. Cage size should increase if additional sugar gliders are housed together. Place the cage on a stand to decrease contact between other pets.
Due to a sugar glider’s size, intelligence and manipulative thumbs, consideration must be given to cage bar spacing and door locks to prevent accidental escapes. Bar spacing should not be more than ½ by 1 inch wide and made with powder-coated wire for protection and ease of cleaning. Simple locks found on bird cages are often opened by sugar gliders. Cages that require two steps to open the door are best.
Sugar gliders are playful and inquisitive, they will play together or alone. Furnishing a variety of cage accessories like perches, hiding and climbing toys, ropes and vines, and a sturdy wheel will provide entertainment and prevent boredom. Typical food containers are heavy dishes that prevent spilling and water dishes or bottles.
